The Season 2 Finale

We’ve reached the end. It’s with mixed emotions that Bryan and I have decided that this will be the final episode of this experiment in grassroots storytelling. It’s been an incredible adventure for us. The athletes left us inspired. The community reaction humbled us. Thank you. A few things I will never forget:

Spending New Years Eve in a no name town on Vancouver island inside Jonaven’s airstream. Rain pelted the aluminum. Watching the cable cam first take flight. The resulting look of glee on Matt’s face. Sunset at the mouth of the Klamath. Realizing that I still have the same enthusiasm for traveling the American West as I did when I was 21. Watching the light fade from the top of Cheop’s. I could go on and on. It has been a memorable experience.

Thanks for watching.

The Season 2.19…Mountain of Potential


Rising 14,000 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier is where many aspiring mountaineers go to test their skills. Crevasses, hanging glaciers, weather that’s not always predictable. At 19, Greg had the climbing bug and set his sights on Rainier. But summiting is not a gimme by any means. When he first saw Rainier, Greg “saw an amazing mountain that scared the crap out of me. There was a lot of fear but no understanding.” After years spent honing skills in the mountains, Greg views Rainier as a mountain of potential. Now, he’s set his sights on two routes in two days.

We have a big foot encounter. A big low is screaming towards the coast. The water is rising and this last effort in terrible weather might make or break Ryan’s goal for the season.  Ryan is going to give it his all.
